Sugarcane

Sugarcane extract is a natural source of glycolic acid, the smallest of the alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs). It gently loosens the dull cells that collect on the skin's surface, encouraging a smoother, brighter and more even-looking complexion. As a humectant, it also helps skin retain moisture while it exfoliates.

This botanical acid threads through the iS Clinical routine from start to finish. It begins at the Cleanse step with Cleansing Complex and Cleansing Complex Polish, continues into Treat with Active Serum and Brightening Serum, and is concentrated in Active Peel System for an at-home exfoliating step. Brightening Complex then brings it into the Hydrate step. As with any AHA, close each morning with SPF at the Protect step. Read more in our guide to sugarcane.
